Friday, September 4 8:30am – 1pm
All new students to NBCCD (FVA, former FVA Online students entering diploma, and Direct-Entry diploma students) will come together for an exciting day of learning, campus tours, and opportunities to meet classmates and get acquainted with student services and the campus.

Nestled along the shores of the Wolastoq River, Fredericton is as much urban energy as small-town charm. NBCCD is tucked within the historic Garrison District in the downtown core, with its countless festivals and events, restaurants, shops, pubs, and cafes. Slow down with a visit to a gallery, art studio or get closer to nature in a kayak, running a trail, or just hanging out in a park.
